CHERRY BOWL
This week I'm pleased to welcome my guest blogger, Frank Lyne, who is going to tell us a bit about his recent project:
This
bowl is made of a knot in a cherry log. The knot wasn't evident on
the surface, but revealed itself when I split a log too big to easily
move into more manageable portions. I already showed this picture of
the knot in my previous post about making Singer. Singer was made
from that portion of the billet that's below the knot in this
picture.
While
carving Singer, I set the bowl idea aside, but came back to it later.
One side was already rounded and there was already a bowl-like
depression in the center. I merely had to make a few cross cuts,
round off the edges and sand it down. Mostly used a dremel drill to
smooth the interior because no other tool would work. It could be
used to store loose change, or maybe snack size Kit Kats.
